These have too much exposure and competition.I drive by every property that I am willing to bid on.In SC I get a deed and own the property.  

@Geremy Rosenberg one of the best rules I was ever taught - "An investor makes their money when they buy".Negotiate hard on reducing the sales price because even if you get bids from contractors, there are ALWAYS surprises that drive up the rehab costs.

Sounds like you have the drive and hustle to get started.

By adhering to a structured and detailed screening process, investors can identify and partner with reliable sponsors, ultimately driving project success and profitability.

A lender wants to make sure you are making money, so they are returned the borrowed funds.2) Make sure the property is driving distance to where you live.

You'll have to convince private money investors you have the knowledge, skills, talents, expertise and drive to help their money do just that. 

Now this one obviously given the price is above that.. but still market flooded with inventory will drive prices right on down.  

If they are still being used does any one have an idea of the pay range for standard drive by BPO's and interior BPO's?
